In addition, NAG recommends that before calling any library routine you should read the following reference material (see Section 5):
(a) Essential Introduction
(b) Chapter Introduction
(c) Function Document
This implementation is intended specifically for Microsoft Visual C++ Release 8.0. An alternative DLL implementation is available that is compatible with Visual C++ Release 6; CLDLL074Z.
cl /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE /MD driver.c nagc.libwhere driver.c is your application program and targetdir is the installation directory.
The /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE option is used to suppress warnings for deprecated features.
The "/MD" option should be used to specify linking with MSVCRT.LIB.
Alternatively, if you wish to link to the version of the NAG C Library that uses the Intel® Math Kernel Library 5.2 for Windows (MKL) which is included in this product, you should compile your program in the following manner:
cl /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE /MD driver.c nagc-mkl.lib
The installation procedure will have set the system environment variables PATH, INCLUDE and LIB for you. By default, the system Path variable is concatenated with your Path environment variable. If you have set your own LIB environment variable, this must include the string "%LIB%" in the search list in order to pick up the system LIB. Similarly your INCLUDE environment variable should have "%INCLUDE%" in the search list.
In the Project Properties window, select "C++" and "General", click on "Additional Include Directories" and "..." and specify the location of the NAG C Library include directory (default is C:\Program Files\Numerical Algorithms Group\CLDLL074XL\include).
In the Project Properties window, select "Linker" and "Input", add to "Additional Dependencies" the location of the NAG C import library (default is C:\Program Files\Numerical Algorithms Group\CLDLL074XL\lib\nagc.lib).
Alternatively you may set the appropriate Visual Studio options. From the Visual Studio "Tools" menu, select "Options" and expand the "Projects and Solutions" section and click the "VC++ Directories" entry. Using the "Show directories for" menu,
The .\bin subdirectory of the library directory must be included in your PATH to run applications.
The .\mkl\bin subdirectory of the library directory must be included in your PATH to run applications linked with MKL.
The installation script will have attempted to do this, and set the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables for you, but in some cases manual intervention may be required. This may be effected using the Control Panel/System/Environment tab on NT, and the "Environment Variables" button in the Control Panel/System/Advanced tab on 2000 and XP.
If your machine has more than one processor and you are using Intel MKL, then it is recommended that you set the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS to the number of available processors, e.g.
set OMP_NUM_THREADS=2This will enable the Intel MKL BLAS to make use of the extra processor(s) and will thus speed up the computation of many of the NAG library routines. On most systems this may be effected using the Control Panel/System/Environment tab.
Normally you are advised to use NAG_ALLOC to allocate memory and NAG_FREE to deallocate memory, however in mixed language programming, these C preprocessor macros are not available. Instead you may call the x04bbc and x04bdc functions directly to allocate and deallocate memory.
The function x04bbc is the NAG memory allocator in this implementation.
Pointer NAG_CALL x04bbc(size_t size);
The function x04bdc is the NAG memory deallocator.
void NAG_CALL x04bdc( void ** );
Note: Within a number of NAG C Library functions, memory is allocated internally and returned to the calling function. This allocated memory contains information that is potentially useful to the user. Consequently freeing this memory has been left to user discretion. You are advised to use NAG_FREE or x04bdc to do this.
For an example of the use of NAG_FREE, please refer to the g05eac example program.
If the first argument to the script is "-mkl", the example program is linked with the version of the NAG C Library that uses the MKL BLAS and LAPACK. If MKL is not installed in the default NAG C Library folder, the environment variable MKLDIR must be set to the root directory of the MKL libraries, i.e. the directory that contains the lib and bin directories.
The example program concerned is specified by the argument to NAGEX.BAT, e.g.
nagex c06eacwill copy the example program and its data into the files c06eafe.c and c06eafe.d in the current directory and process them to produce the example program results, which are placed in file c06eace.res in the current folder.
The example programs supplied to a site in machine-readable form have been modified as necessary so that they are suitable for immediate execution. Note that the distributed example programs are those used in this implementation and may not correspond exactly with the programs published in the manual. The distributed example programs should be used in preference wherever possible.
The distributed example results are those obtained with the NAG static library, using the NAG BLAS and LAPACK functions. Running the examples with the shared library or non-NAG BLAS or LAPACK may give slightly different results.
